[PATCHv3 0/8] introduce dynamic device creation/removal

[PATCHv3 0/8] introduce dynamic device creation/removal

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

Hello,

This patchset introduces zram-control sysfs class, which has two sysfs
attrs:
 - zram_add     -- add a new specific (device_id) zram device
 - zram_remove  -- remove a specific (device_id) zram device


    Usage example:
        # add a new specific zram device
        echo 4 > /sys/class/zram-control/zram_add

        # remove a specific zram device
        echo 4 > /sys/class/zram-control/zram_remove


Patch set also does some cleanups and huge code reorganization.

v3:
-- add missing add/remove documentation
-- add patch 0008
-- pair class register with unregister, not class destroy function
-- do not leak class on register_blkdev() error
-- fix kernel version typo (should be 4.1) in documentation

v2:
-- switch to sysfs class, rather than using /dev/zram-control node and
doing IOCTL on it. we lose some features, though. like automatic
device_id generation.

[PATCH 2/8] zram: use idr instead of `zram_devices' array

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

This patch makes some preparations for dynamic device ADD/REMOVE functionality
via /dev/zram-control interface.

Remove `zram_devices' array and switch to id-to-pointer translation (idr).
idr doesn't bloat zram struct with additional members, f.e. list_head, yet
still provides ability to match the device_id with the device pointer.
No user-space visible changes.

There is no locking protecting this idr?

correct. there is no concurrent idr index modification at this point.
add/remove functionality and concurrent idr modification will be intoriduced
in the patch 0005 zram add dynamic device add remove functionality (along
with `static DEFINE_MUTEX(zram_index_mutex)' idr protection).

[Minchan Kim]

Hello Sergey,

Sorry for the late review.
I don't grab a time to review in detail still but I saw Andrew merged it
to mmotm today so at least I should ask somethings now and hope review
in detail soon.

So are you claiming using of idr is smaller memory footprint than zram included
list_head?
I hope why you want to use idr for dynamic device management.

only if we talk about sizeof(struct zram), of course. we pass zram pointers around,
do struct zram loads/stores (accessing disksize, meta, writing stats, etc.) quite a
lot. so keeping it small is a good thing, I think.

and idr handles auto device_id generation for us, all we need to do in zram code
is to pass '0, 0' to idr_alloc(), instead of 'device_id, device_id + 1'.
hoping that automatic id generation will be there one day.

About memory footprint, sizeof(list_head) might be win if we create zram dyamically
and there is few zram device in the system because IDR uses own metadata and bitmap
and so. But I don't think it's not too much if there is few device, either.
However, automatic id generation appeals more rather than memory footprint so I hope
you add it in description for someone to know why we decided idr in future.

Thanks.

[PATCH 3/8] zram: factor out device reset from reset_store()

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

Device reset currently consists of two steps:
a) holding ->bd_mutex we ensure that there are no device users
(bdev->bd_openers)

b) and internal part (executed under bdev->bd_mutex and partially
under zram->init_lock) that resets the device - frees allocated
memory and returns the device back to its initial (un-init) state.

Dynamic device removal requires the same amount of work and checks.
We can reuse internal cleanup part (b) zram_reset_device(), but step (a)
is done in sysfs ATTR reset_store() handler.

Rename step (b) from zram_reset_device() to zram_reset_device_internal()
and factor out step (a) to zram_reset_device(). Both reset_store() and
dynamic device removal will use zram_reset_device().

For readability let's keep them separated.

Nitpick:
Usually, we have used double underbar for internal functions(ie, __zram_reset_device).

[PATCH 4/8] zram: reorganize code layout

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

This patch looks big, but basically it just moves code blocks forward
and backward. No functional changes.

Our current code layout looks a bit like a sandwitch.

For example,
a) between read/write handlers, we have update_used_max() helper function:

static int zram_decompress_page
static int zram_bvec_read
static inline void update_used_max
static int zram_bvec_write
static int zram_bvec_rw

b) RW request handlers __zram_make_request/zram_bio_discard are divided by
sysfs attr reset_store() function and corresponding zram_reset_device()
handler:

static void zram_bio_discard
static void zram_reset_device
static ssize_t disksize_store
static ssize_t reset_store
static void __zram_make_request

c) we first a bunch of sysfs read/store functions. then a number of
one-liners, then helper functions, RW functions, sysfs functions, helper
functions again, and so on.

Reorganize layout to be more logically grouped (a brief description,
`cat zram_drv.c | grep static` gives a bigger picture):

-- one-liners: zram_test_flag/etc.

-- helpers: is_partial_io/update_position/etc

-- sysfs attr show/store functions + ZRAM_ATTR_RO() generated stats
show() functions
exception: reset and disksize store functions are required to be after meta()
functions. because we do device create/destroy actions in these sysfs
handlers.

-- "mm" functions: meta get/put, meta alloc/free, page free
static inline bool zram_meta_get
static inline void zram_meta_put
static void zram_meta_free
static struct zram_meta *zram_meta_alloc
static void zram_free_page

-- a block of I/O functions
static int zram_decompress_page
static int zram_bvec_read
static int zram_bvec_write
static void zram_bio_discard
static int zram_bvec_rw
static void __zram_make_request
static void zram_make_request
static void zram_slot_free_notify
static int zram_rw_page

-- device contol: add/remove/init/reset functions (+zram-control class
will sit here)
static void zram_reset_device_internal
static int zram_reset_device
static ssize_t reset_store
static ssize_t disksize_store
static int zram_add
static void zram_remove
static int __init zram_init
static void __exit zram_exit

[PATCH 5/8] zram: add dynamic device add/remove functionality

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

Introduce zram-control sysfs class, which has two sysfs attrs:
- zram_add      -- add a new specific (device_id) zram device
- zram_remove   -- remove a specific (device_id) zram device

Usage example:
	# add a new specific zram device
	echo 4 > /sys/class/zram-control/zram_add

	# remove a specific zram device
	echo 4 > /sys/class/zram-control/zram_remove

There is no automatic device_id generation, so user is expected to
provide one.

NOTE, there might be users who already depend on the fact that at
least zram0 device gets always created by zram_init(). Thus, due to
compatibility reasons, along with requested device_id (f.e. 5) zram0
will also be created.

This doesn't really explain why you think we need the patch.

- What's the current scheme for adding devices?

- What's wrong with it?

- Why is this better?

The types here are confused.  `ret' is int, `count' is size_t, the
function returns ssize_t and heaven knows what type "ret ?  ret :
count" evaluates to!

oh, yes. you are right.

We currently don't support on-demand device creation. The only way to have
N zram devices is to specify num_devices module parameter (default value 1).
That means that if, for some reason, at some point, user wants to have N + 1
devies he/she must umount all the existing devices, unload the module, load
the module passing num_devices equals to N + 1. And do this again, if needed.

Hmm, so every user want to create zram dynamically should lock
the file to synchronize other user who want create same number
zram device? Otherwise, looping until he is successful?

Why should user specifiy zram-device id to create?

one of them will create a new device, the other one will get -EEXIST.
quite decent.

I'm not sure I know how to return device id back to use space in
response to
	echo -1 > /sys/class/zram-control/zram_add


can be added in follow up patches.

hm... that actually doesn't look so hard.

all I need to do is just change zram_add attr to RW (or create a new RO
attribute `zram_auto_add', or whatever) and treat read access to that
zram_add_read() or zram_auto_add_read() attr as (atomic operation):
	-- generate new device_id X
	-- create corresponding zramX device
	-- return that X as char *text to user space (or error). the
	same way we sprintf() stats.

what do you think? I'll play with it.

[PATCH 6/8] zram: remove max_num_devices limitation

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

Limiting the number of zram devices to 32 (default max_num_devices value)
is confusing, let's drop it. A user with 2TB or 4TB of RAM, for example,
can request as many devices as he can handle.

[PATCH 7/8] zram: report every added and removed device

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

With dynamic device creation/removal printing num_devices in zram_init()
doesn't make a lot of sense, as well as printing the number of destroyed
devices in destroy_devices(). Print per-device action (added/removed) in
zram_add() and zram_remove() instead.

Example:

[ 3645.259652] zram: Added device: zram5
[ 3646.152074] zram: Added device: zram6
[ 3650.585012] zram: Removed device: zram5
[ 3655.845584] zram: Added device: zram8
[ 3660.975223] zram: Removed device: zram6

This patchset and the "make automatic device_id generation possible"
still appear to have quite a few unresolved issues.  So I'm holding
them out of the 4.1 merge window.

Unfortunately these were the first-arriving zram patches, so the later
ones required quite a bit of mangling.  Hopefully I got it all right.

This was all a bit disruptive.  Please let's not leave major patchsets
floating about in an incomplete/unresolved state for week after week?

There is no unresolved issue to me. Only one thing I suspect was the
feature user enforce new device id for dynamic device addition and
we finally decided to remove the function because there was no useful
usecase at this point. Sergey and other userland people agreed that
so Sergey sent a patch [zram: do not let user enforce new device dev_id]
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/6/427
So, I'm happy with that. Acutally, I wanted to resend whole patchset
for dynamic device creation/remove patchset with corrected version
(ie, remove user enforce new device id) to avoid confusion but didn't
said it to Sergey. It was my bad.

Sergey, Could you resend this patchset without user's enforce device id
function based on new -rc1?

I'm not aware of any unresolved issues. am I missing something?

[PATCH 0/8] introduce dynamic device creation/removal

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

Hello,

this patchset introduces dynamic (on demand) zram device add-remove
functionality via /dev/zram-control interface. Two ioctl commands are
defined as of now (accessible in user-space via new zram.h header file):
-- ZRAM_CTL_ADD
	add new device (generates device_id automatically or uses provided
	device_id)
-- ZRAM_CTL_REMOVE
	remove device (by device_id)

util-linux zramctl update will be done later, after we land this patchset.


This also opens a possibility to drop some of sysfs device attrs and FOO_show()
code duplication in the future, and provide device stats/info via ioctl call
instead, providing something like (via zram.h):

	struct zram_info {
		__u64 orig_data_size;
		__u64 mem_used_total;
		__u64 max_comp_streams;

		[..]
	};


fill it under ->init_lock in zram_fill_info() (or any other name) function and
return all device stats at once back to user-space in a single syscall.

This is a long term plan, of course, but I'd like to see sysfs functions go away
in a year or so. What do you think?
